Of course I will always love him, and I'll miss him, but I wanted you to know that I will always love you.
Words can't do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.
This is a love note to family, friends, and fans. Thank you for all the messages, cards and flowers that you've sent.
Carl and I fell in love when I was 18 and he was 23, and like all great love stories, they never end.
